Well, that's what they were called by a friend of mine. After seeing pics of my Royal Cavaliers lance, he made that comment and I thought to expand on that by posting a pic of the entire Urbie horde.
The photo above includes:
13) UM-R60s - 6,552 points
1) UM-R68 - 561 points
1) UM-AIV - 603 points
1) UM-R27 - 610 points
1) UM-R80 - 699 points (this one is just to have TAG on something for the Arrow IV Urbie.)
All told that clocks in at: 9,025 points.
The UM-R27 above is the oddball being an Ilkhan era only model. If I take that one out, and drop back to the Jihad era, it rounds my Urbies out to an even 16, making for a reinforced company (with its own integral artillery support). Let's say they're the mercenary command called The Skittles: Taste the Rainbow bitches!
The base UM-R60s can be swapped out for the other various cannon armed variants, moving the point totals all over the place, just using those 13 mechs alone:
13) UM-R90s - 10,049 points
13) UM-R63s - 7,020 points
13) UM-R69s - 7,657 points
13) UM-R80s - 9,087 points
13) UM-R60Ls - 6,110 points That's 13 AC-20s (((shudder)))
13) UM-R70s - 9,412 points
In between the Jihad and the IlKhan eras, are a few other over-engineered Urbies...
13) UM-93s - 11,622 points
13) UM-R96 - 11,076 points
Lastly, waaay back in the 3040s, I could also make one of them the prototype UM-R100 which clocks in at 915 points on its own (no doubt the golden Urbie), and the most expensive of Urbies...well, barring perhaps the Urie LAM (which I don't have, but only but have seen on the store shelves).
As impressive as these numbers are, I'm sure that halfway thru this post Kushial stopped reading and started tallying up the points on his Battalion of Urbanmechs...
I will have you know that I read the entire thing before I started any math. My Urbie battalion has a command lance so that puts it at a nice even 40 mechs. All the models are base models with some minor variations in sculpting as I haven't gotten the Urbie LAMs yet. If I do them as the -R90s that comes to 30,920 points, 18,800 if I go with the -R60L for 40 AC/20s. Going with the -R100 would be 36,600 but I'd want to upgrade the pilots to 3/4 to take advantage of those ER PPCs so that'd make it 48,320.
ReplyDeleteYeah...sure you did, lol. Just one thing, the R100 was just a prototype, so only 1 of those were ever made. That said, those numbers are about as impressive as I thought they'd be!
